Boudin first took office in early 2020 and ran on a slew of progressive promises, including to end cash bail, stop the practice of prosecuting children as adults and offer defendants the chance to enter a rehabilitation program rather than prison.

Crime has remained roughly the same in San Francisco since Boudin first entered the job, and no evidence has emerged to link his policies to violent crime.

      He undid some of the things I learned about as an ex-:ukkk: person that made me go “and that’s the actual law? And not part of Robocop?”

        it really is amazing how Capital can gen up a crime wave that isn't happening and blame it on policies that don't exist and gaslight everyone so hard that even the people living in the city in question completely believe it. reality isn't only invented for wars.
